FOH'ers Daily Smoke

[RDB]

I’ve had a good run recently, but these two were stinkers. The PSD4 was totally plugged, then split and unravelled. Hopeless. The Connie A was from a 2018 box that looks great but is consistently under-filled and tastes of nothing.

Ah well, life could be a lot worse.

You take that a lot better than I did earlier this week. Glorious evening, got the kids to sleep and had enough time to sneak a HdM PR that tunneled. I ended the evening with a small tanty about the cost:quality.

Of course it’s annoying, but I try to keep it in perspective. After all, we could be fighting the Russians or trying to survive in a refugee camp right now…

Just under Med.

Lite pepper, Creamy smoke texture ,Lite sweet tobacco, Lite earthy flavors .

Draw and smoke output flawless.

Had to just smoke one as I got my hands on them yesterday maybe should have waited a little longer. Will smoke another in a couple of months to see the change in development in the cigar.

Very smooth smoke.  Not the most dynamic vintage cigar I've had.  Leathery, earthy, hints of chocolate and coffee.  Maybe it's something you should smoke sooner than later.

I’ll get into it this weekend maybe. 

Monte #4 to kick start off the long weekend.

Went to take this pic and immediately got a visitor. Pretty cool start to a great smoke session. My wife said it was my grandpa, who passed last year, was paying me a visit. Whichever the case, this little fella had good taste.

A Trini Esmeralda and some Emi. Wonderful pair of Cuban craftsmanship!

QdO plugged. Ditched. 2016 WC, dark wrapper, meh. 2006 rgPC today to save face.

Is this the Secreto cubano ? Never had one but i've heard it is one of the finest Qd'O ever released, too bad it was plugged...

I dunno, I think it's acceptable to get annoyed at things. Sure the above is definitely much worse, but poor construction is irritating and registers on the scale somewhere.

Yes, exactly. I've 9 left in the box... I'm very apprehensive... I'm also going to carry the PD and a pair of tweezers around. And a backup cigar. 🥹 Wish me luck...

Yeah. That was first of the box. This one's fine. Nice mild QdO.

Edit- nice finish. Bit more strength and a nice oily finish.
